Klopp's landmark win
Klopp earned his 250th win with the Reds across all competitions.
The boss had celebrated his 400th match in charge in midweek against Napoli with a victory and hit yet another landmark in style.
Liverpool remain unbeaten against Spurs in their last 11 contests and have yet to lose at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with Klopp himself only losing to Spurs once in his managerial career to date.
Salah's Spurs record
The Egyptian King just loves playing Tottenham.
Salah's brace saw him move onto 10 career goals in total versus Spurs – joining Manchester United as his most-scored-against opponent.
He also leapfrogged Robbie Fowler (six) for the most goals by a single Liverpool player against Tottenham in the Premier League as he reached seven strikes.
Salah now has 126 goals in the division - jumping ahead of Nicolas Anelka on 125 - and has nine goals in his last eight appearances overall thanks to his first domestic double of the campaign.
The No.11 boasts an impressive 19 goal involvements in 20 games across all competitions this term.
A first away league win of the season
The capital provided a happy hunting ground for the Reds on Sunday afternoon.
Before the game, Liverpool were yet to claim three points on their travels away from Anfield in the top flight this season.
Klopp's men, though, ensured the spoils were earned in a hard-fought contest in which they had to show both sides of their game.
Battling qualities on display
The post-match celebrations perhaps said it all.
Liverpool were required to show their defensive resilience in the closing stages to see out a vital victory over Spurs to return to winning ways domestically.
Kane's well-taken goal saw the hosts step up their intent late on to find a leveller, but Klopp's charges held firm at the back in an impressive display with the discipline to match.
The boss' fist pumps returned afterwards in front of a packed away end, which gave a nod to how important the Reds believed the points haul to be.
A big week ahead
There are just two fixtures remaining for Liverpool ahead of the pause for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
Derby County are up next in the Carabao Cup before a final Premier League outing against Southampton next weekend at Anfield.
Two victories - to add to two collected this week - would send the Reds off on a positive footing into the break from fixtures.
The success at Spurs was just the right way to begin an important seven days on Merseyside.
